Burt Processing Expands for Third Time in Hamden

On September 16th, Burt Process Equipment held an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at their newly expanded, 45,000 square foot manufacturing facility located at 100 Overlook Drive.

Ribbon-Cutting With Mayor Jackson

Burt Processing is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of high purity and corrosion resistant equipment, systems and services. Burt Processing serves many industries including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, microelectronics, metal finishing, and chemical processing.

In an effort to be more energy efficient, the company also recently completed the largest solar array, at 9,000 square feet, located on a business in Hamden. This array not only saves the company money, but also reduces their carbon footprint. Since January of 2014, the solar project at Burt Processing has saved the consumption of over 9,000 gallons of gasoline.

The Town of Hamden played an important role in the most recent expansion of Burt Processing by offering several business incentives, such as a multi-year tax abatement, a grant, and a waiver of building permit fees. The Town also supported their efforts to install their impressive array of solar panels.

Additionally the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development provided important incentives under the Urban Jobs program. “The Urban Jobs Program is one of the most important tools we have to encourage the expansion of manufacturing services and the creation of good paying jobs”, stated Dale Kroop Director of Economic Development for the Town.

Machinery Within the New Facility

Burt Processing is one of Hamden’s most successful manufacturing companies and the Town of Hamden looks forward to its continued partnership with this exceptional company. As stated by Mayor Scott Jackson, “We have enjoyed a strong partnership with Burt Processing through the years. They are committed to growing their business and creating jobs. We couldn’t be happier.”
